Internal Flash not working-Canon Eos 40D

\015 I took pictures at a birthday party with an external flash. No problems. Then we went to a girl scout event and I took pictures with the internal flash. No problems. I come home and want to take a picture and on auto, or any automatic flash setting, the flash is not coming up. I hit the fash pop up button: nothing happens. There is no code, and it isn't saying the flash is blocked. It is just shooting at a very slow speed to compensate for the low light because the flash isn't coming up. There was no trama to the camera to cause this. Thank you for your help. I feel very upset that it isn't working and I can't figure why. Ruth\015

Try defaulting the menu to settings to factory defaults? This may clear the external flash information from the cameras memory?\015\012

Internal Flash not working-Canon Eos 40D

I have a Canon EOS 40D camera. We are having problems with using an external flash. The pictures always come out extremely dark with the external flash. The flash seems to work fine, it flashes brightly. The pictures look fine using the built in flash. The flash is a Promaster but we tried a Canon flash and it did the same thing. The camera store we bought the camera and the flash from says it looks like a synchronization issue and that it is a hardware problem with the boot. Their sugges

I have a Canon Digital EOS Rebel XT and the built-in flash no longer pops up when needed. This started happening after using a Canon speedlite, but then removing it. I've tried resetting everything, and tried all modes expecting that the ones listed in the manual as using a flash would work, but they dont, it never pops up.
I lifted up the flash with my fingernail manually, and then tried taking a picture where a flash was most definitely needed, but it still had a long delay, no flash, and

In addition to resetting all the camera settings you should also choose the "clear all custom functions" option that is also available from the same menu. Once that's done. Put the camera in Full Auto mode and see if the issue is resolved. ...

Flashless photograghy I bought a this camera about a month ago. I would like to know what settings I need to put it on so I can take good pictures of a stage performence without having to use my flash. These are the accessories that I have: Canon - EOS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera - Black EOS 40D Canon - 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens 0345B002

Use the highest ISO setting and the largest aperature (low number) possible. A tripod would help as the camera is going to take a slow shot if it has a slow lens (telephoto lens' are slow--high f-stop value) You want to use the kit lens on the camera ...

I have a Canon EOS 50D Digital Camera and use 3 different Canon Lenses. I am getting "Error 30". I have taken the internal battery out and re-installed the firmware. At times I can shoot quite a number of shots before getting the error. But, once I start getting the error, it comes about every 4 or 5 shots. I believe this is very similar to the "Error 99" in the Canon 30D, which I also have. The 30D has been sent to Canon for repair and worked for a while and now it gets the Error 99 every coupl

My Canon EOS Rebel XS digital camera has suddenly stopped taking pictures. It will not focus even though it is on the auto focus setting. The first set of numbers are flashing and there is a flashing dot behind the ISO 800. It was working fine when I used it one time and then the next time it wouldn't. I can view pictures, but cannot take them on any setting except A-DEP and it's not focused even then. Please Help!

When I switch on my camera I get 'Err CF' on the display. According to the handbook I have to format the compact flash card - when it is formatted the menu will reappear - the menu does Not reappear bu 'Err 99' does. I have been on the internet and tried remedies suggested but nothing seems to work I am just being sent round and round in circles.
